I have a half dozen kinds of BL currant cuttings for you, plus a pretty flowering kind that you can form into a small tree. Just ask JohnS or Jafar to point me out at the scion exchange next month.

Re: Looking for red and black currants and elderberries

I don't think he's consistent with the spelling I thought it was plumfan too.

Hey plumfun, what varieties to you have of black currant? I think you gave me the September Black which I like better than anything else I've tasted fresh. I've heard consort is extra packed with flavor and nutrients. There are a couple in Raintree's catalogue that look interesting. I don't care for Minaj Smyriou fresh.

This spring I should have 3 empty spaces for black currants, what do you recommend that ripens relatively early to improve the odds against the spotted wing drosophila?

I will definitely be there for the Scion exchange. I'll be at the information table.
